Tune in here to this ​Friday edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen!

Breaking Brett Jensen opens the show by discussing former Charlotte City Council member Tiawana Brown, who accepted a plea deal with the Department of Justice in a criminal case involving wire fraud tied to the misuse of PPP loans. Jensen notes the case began under the Biden administration and emphasizes that it is unrelated to President Trump or local U.S. attorneys. He also outlines Brown’s prior legal troubles, details the charges against her and summarizes public reaction to the case.

Later, Jensen shares highlights from a press conference held by Mecklenburg County emergency officials ahead of a winter storm expected to hit Charlotte over the weekend. Wike Graham of the Charlotte Fire Department explains the differences between last week’s ice storm and the current snowstorm forecast. He says warming shelters are open and that communication among public safety agencies will remain active throughout the storm.
